How to use the API get_mib_info() or anything in sys/mib.h

[Akshay44]

Hi,

I wanted to use get_mib_info() API to get TCP connection details. So I wanted to know it's interface, data it returns etc. [Same for open_mib() etc. ]

Does anyone know how to use these functions?

HP-UX 11.31

yes but it is private functions not supported and which may change anytime, but quite easy to use when reading the mib.h

#include
#include
main()
{
int i;
struct nmparms parms;
unsigned int len;
int buf[256];;
i=open_mib("/dev/ip",O_RDWR,0,0);
parms.objid= ID_icmpInEchos;
parms.buffer=&buf;
parms.len=&len;
len=sizeof(buf);
get_mib_info(i,&parms);
printf("icmp in echo %ld \n",buf[0]);
close_mib(i);
}

Any documentation that exists on this?
So that I can know all the possible options and data available?

Is there a more supported approach to get these networking data from the HP UX OS?

>>Any documentation that exists on this?
No it is a private unsupported API - outside of internal use-
>>So that I can know all the possible options and data available?
mib.h is the only doc, but the content is quite clear.

-> popen("netstat -s")?
-> snmp

Thank You Laurent! Looks like I will have to use mib.h for now.
